Flunil = Fluoxetine: Flunil is another name for fluoxetine, like prozac. Your doctor is the best one to ask about your need for this medicine. However, in a first episode of depression, staying on the antidepressant for at least 6 months - 1 year is generally recommended. If multiple episodes, then you need to consider benefits vs risks of staying on the medication permanently, in preventive manner.
